About this giro




Our journey begins in Piazza Fontana, outside the Rosa Grand Hotel, where we step into the shadows of Milan’s hidden past. Crossing into Largo Verziere, we arrive at San Bernardino alle Ossa, an eerie chapel filled with the bones of long-forgotten souls. Were these victims of the plague, criminals, or nobles? Their origins remain a mystery, but the macabre decorations, set against a stunning Baroque ceiling, tell their own silent story.


Next, we visit Santo Stefano Maggiore, where the walls whisper of murder and betrayal. It’s here that Duke Galeazzo Sforza met his brutal fate, and where the “Stone of the Innocents” marks the resting place of Milan’s early Christian martyrs. This ancient church, tucked between the Duomo and the University, hides centuries of secrets.


From there, we venture to the Cà Granda, Milan’s first hospital, once a Renaissance marvel and a beacon of hope for the city’s poor. Walking its grounds, you can almost hear the echoes of the past, from medieval hospices to state-of-the-art care for plague-stricken citizens.


Our path leads us to the enchanting Guastalla Gardens, once a refuge for noble girls in distress. As we wander its quiet paths, we’ll uncover the blurred lines between myth and reality, discovering how Milan’s past intertwines with its present.


Throughout the tour, you’ll meet saints, despots, and Renaissance rebels, with the Grim Reaper lurking just around the corner. We end near the Duomo, on the site of long-buried canals, where forgotten beauty and dark stories await to be uncovered. Join us for an unforgettable exploration of Milan’s hidden mysteries, where every corner holds a secret waiting to be revealed.
